Original English:

"Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word"

 

Though I never knew just what you meant

When you were speaking to your man

I can only think in terms of me

And now I understand

After waking enough times to think I see

The Holy Kiss that's supposed to last eternity

Blow up in smoke, its destiny

Falls on strangers, travels free

Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me

And I do not really need to be

Assured that love is just a four-letter word

 

Strange it is to be beside you

Many years and tables turned

You'd probably not believe me

If I told you all I've learned

And it is very, very weird indeed

To hear words like forever plead

Those ships run through my mind, I cannot cheat

It's like looking in the teacher's face complete

I can say nothing to you but repeat what I heard

That love is just a four-letter word

 

Welsh:

"Dim ond gair pedwar llythyren yw cariad"


Er na wyddwn erioed beth oeddech chi'n ei olygu

Pan oeddech chi'n siarad â'ch dyn

Ni allaf ond meddwl o'm rhan i

A nawr rwy'n deall

Ar ôl deffro digon o weithiau i feddwl rwy'n gweld

Y Kiss Sanctaidd sydd i fod i bara'n hiraethus

Chwythwch i fyny mewn mwg, ei ffawd

Syrthio ar ddieithriaid, teithio am ddim

Ydwyf, rwy'n gwybod nawr, dim ond fi sy'n gosod trapiau

Ac nid oes gwir angen i mi fod yn

Sicrhau mai gair pedwar llythyren yn unig yw cariad

 

Rhyfedd yw bod wrth eich ochr

Trodd blynyddoedd lawer a byrddau

Mae'n debyg na fyddech yn fy nghredu

Pe bawn i'n dweud wrthych chi'r cyfan rydw i wedi'i ddysgu

Ac mae'n rhyfedd iawn, iawn yn wir

Clywed geiriau fel pledio am byth

Mae'r llongau hynny'n rhedeg drwy fy meddwl, ni allaf dwyllo

Mae fel edrych yn wyneb yr athro wedi'i gwblhau

Ni allaf ddweud dim wrthych ond ailadrodd yr hyn a glywais

Gair pedwar llythyren yn unig yw'r cariad hwnnw

 

 

Icelandic:

"Ástin er bara fjögurra stafa orð"


Þó ég hafi aldrei vitað hvað þú meintir

Þegar þú varst að tala við þinn mann

Ég get bara hugsað eins og fyrir mig

Og nú skil ég

Eftir að hafa vaknað nógu oft til að halda að ég sjái

Heilagur koss sem á að endast nostalgískur

Blása upp í reyk, örlög þess

Falla á ókunnugum, ókeypis ferðalög

Já, ég veit það núna, aðeins ég set gildrur

Og ég þarf eiginlega ekki að vera

Gakktu úr skugga um að ástin sé aðeins fjögurra stafa orð

 

Það er skrýtið að vera við hlið þér

Mörg ár og stjórnir snerust

Þú myndir líklega ekki trúa mér

Ef ég segði þér allt sem ég hef lært

Og það er mjög, mjög skrýtið vissulega

Heyra orð eins og að biðja að eilífu

Þessi skip hlaupa í gegnum huga minn, ég get ekki svindlað

Það er eins og að horfa framan í fullkláraða kennarann

Ég get ekki sagt þér annað en að endurtaka það sem ég hef heyrt

Þessi ást er bara fjögurra stafa orð

 

 

Maori:

"He kupu pū whā noa iho te aroha"


Ahakoa kore rawa ahau i mōhio ki tāu i kōrero ai

I a koe e kōrero ana ki tō tangata

Ka taea anake e au te whakaaro pēnei mōku anō

Ā, kua mārama ahau ināianei

I muri iho i te whakaohotanga kia rawaka ngā wā ki te whakaaro ka kitea e au

He kihi tapu ki te whakamutunga ātaahua

Pupuhi i roto i te kauruki, tōna taunga

E taka ana ki runga i ngā tauhou, te haere koreutu

Āe, e mōhio ana ahau ināianei, nāku anake i tautuhi tāwhiti

Ā, kāore i te tino hiahiatia

Āta titiro he kupu pū whā noa iho te aroha

 

He rerekē te noho i tō taha

Ngā tau me ngā papa i takahuria

Tērā pea kaore koe e whakapono mai ki a au

Mēnā i kōrerotia e au ngā mea katoa kua akona e au

He tino rerekē hoki

Whakarongo ki ngā kupu pēnei i te inoi mo ake tonu atu

E rere ana ēnei kaipuke i roto i tōku hinengaro, kaore e taea e au te tinihanga

Pēnei i te titiro atu ki te mata o te kaiako kua oti

Kāore e taea e au te kōrero anō ki a koe engari me te tārua anō i ngā mea i rongo ai ahau

He kupu pū whā noa iho tēnei aroha

 

 

Back to English:

"Love is just four letter words"


Even though I didn't know what you were talking about

When you talk to your man

I can only think like this for me again

And I am clearly now

After the wake up to enough moments to think I'll find

A holy kiss to a beautiful ending

Blowing in a fight, its ration

Falls on strangers, free travel

Yes, I know now, so I only set traps

And it's not really necessary

Make sure there are just four letters of love

 

It's different to stay on your side

Numbers and boards toggle

You may not believe me

If I told you everything I've learned

And it's also very different

Listen to words like asking for ever more

These ships fly in my mind, I can't cheat

Like looking at the completed teacher's face

I can't tell you more but repeat what I've heard

This love is just four letter words
